Assessing acceptability and perceptions of a novel condom use intervention for young women
Assessing acceptability and perceptions of a novel condom use intervention for young women
Objectives: to assess the acceptability of a novel condom use intervention for women, the Home-Based Exercises of Responsible Sex, that focuses on condom use experience, application skills, and self-efficacy.
Method: two hundred eighty women (M age 22.63, SD = 3.65) completed an online survey containing questions on condom use errors, experiences, ability, and self-efficacy, and on intervention acceptability.
Results: eighty-one percent reported that the intervention was acceptable. Significant positive predictors of acceptability were condom use ability (β = .18) and self-efficacy (β = .20).
Discussion: findings suggest that the intervention is acceptable and that different options for completing the intervention should be offered.
